As we head into the Holiday Season, it is a time of year to reflect on how we can easily get caught up in the commercialization of Christmas and forget the people that are in need, those for whom a gently used  blanket is a luxury.

I received this “ gift ” from a friend over the Christmas season. It has stayed with me over the holiday season and  stays with me still.  It has been widely circulated. Very timely.  Please let me  share…

Happy New Year! As you can see I now have a new site. using the power of technology, one can now search properties for sale, including some of my favourite areas to work including Lynn Valley and the Lonsdale areas of North Vancouver.
